## Abstract Galactose oxidase (GO) converts galactose to an aldehyde and has several biotechnological applications, including cancer diagnosis. It is mainly produced by __Fusarium austroamericanum__ but is also produced by __Fusarium acuminatum__ and by isolates of the __Fusarium graminearum__ and

## Abstract Fusarium graminearum strains are well known for their role as plant pathogens and for their production of mycotoxins, and less known for their secretion of galactose oxidase, a wellβstudied and useful enzyme. Three galactose oxidaseβproducing isolates of __F. graminearum__ were grown on
Extra-cellular production of a novel galactose oxidase from Fusarium acuminatum using submerged fermentation was studied. Glucose (1.0% w/v) was used as the sole carbon source. Maximum galactose oxidase production (approximately 4.0 U/ml) was obtained when fermentation was carried out at 25 Β°C, with
